Face screwing will always be the cheapest way to go. Cheap and HFS don't really apply.

You might try the HIDfast gun for PVC deck boards.

From my experience, trying to save money on synthetic deckboards is stupid. Tell the people to either go all in, or put down wood knowing the maintenance aspects. The reason the cheap synthetic boards are cheap is because they are cheap. ;)

Ditto. You want cheap, go PT and maintain it. Nothing wrong with that. And you won't get callbacks like you did on EON :)

Lav: Pretty dock of just functional dock? Fresh water or salt water location? What is the dock framing that will receive the fasteners?

I'd tend to go for a plastic lumber, top fastened, with HDG for fresh water and stainless for salt. Might even go to an oversized round-head fastener for that industrial look (and a bit of a seal over the hole).
